"The Cold Heart" by Wilhelm Hauff.
Once upon a time there was a young man named Peter. He wanted to make his life better.
Peter met a Glassman. This wizard fulfilled his wishes. Peter became happy.
Then he met another wizard in the forest, Dutch-Mike. This creature granted Peter's wish, but replaced his heart with a stone.
Eventually, through magic, Peter got his heart back and became closer to his family.
Good evening, everyone! I'm Mrs. Anne. I often walk in a playground. My daughter and grandson walk there, too.
I'm already an old woman, so I often worry about my grandson when he runs somewhere or climbs a tree.
"Look where our boy went," I once said to my daughter.
"Mom, don't worry so much. He plays with other boys," she said.
I may be very nervous sometimes, but my grandson is an active child.
There was a case when he went onto the road and my daughter immediately took my grandson from there.
Also, I was worried about Timothy when he got into a trouble. For a while, the young man literally 'had no face'. But all the problems were resolved as I hoped.

Nice to meet you, dear readers! My name is Jack. I'm an ordinary guy. I'm Beth's age. I'm being raised by my grandparents.
"You're a wonderful grandson!" my grandmother said.
I have been going to the forest with my grandfather since early childhood. There we pick berries. My granddad knows forest plants.
Now we go out less often because I'm already a student.
"I like talking with you," I told him.
"Natalie, thank you very much for supporting me," Timothy said.
I decided to talk with the young man when he wanted. My friend Sophie decided to support Timothy, too.
He is a real person, but no everyone believes in it.
Timothy had some difficulties a few years ago, then the problems were resolved. The young man was helped by his friends.

"I want to become handsome." Timothy said.
"We can help you!" nurse said.
It was in the hospital. Timothy decided to talk about his life.
"My father forgot about me," he said.
"Maybe he will remember about you later," the nurse said.
Also, Timothy told about people who couldn't understand him. How he walked during night. The young man needed it.
Now Timothy decided to check how the attitudes of others towards him would change.
Timothy decided to try the lottery. He took this step for the attempt. For a young man, this was an opportunity.
His friends advised him to do so.
"I still hope to win," Timothy said to himself.
The woman was one of those who thought it all up. Few believed in Timothy's victory.
But a miracle happened! He won a huge amount of money! Family and friends were happy for Timothy. Even Sophie, her mother, and grandmother.
The young man decided to invest his winnings in facial reconstruction surgery.
